This box Tesla used was 'passive' so please explain to me how Tesla
could 'increase' currents with passive parts.. outside of transformer
action? Amplification is really needed and what I always thought was
that this Tesla box actually had several tubes in it, that where used
as aether collection devices...without heating the filaments! Cold
cathodes. However, we do not know if it really was heated or not, since
he could have heated them by a battery and the output power could have
fed back to further feed the filaments. However, I thought it was purely
passive (def: no external power applied) components. Am I wrong?
The only way I know to increase current is by transformer action and
which will also reduce voltage: Vp x Ip = Vs x Is... power is neither
destroyed or used... for a perfect transformer. <g>
One more question... how is 1000volts with (uA?) current generated?
Do you crank it by hand.. battery powered.. or long arial under powerlines?
